"No team earned a more impactful result than Indiana, whose win at Oregon is now the best in the country during the first half of the season. Indiana's playoff chances jumped 21%, climbing to a 93% chance to make the playoff, according to the Allstate Playoff predictor. Not only are the Hoosiers off the bubble, but Indiana also is chasing a first-round bye as one of the top four seeds, having cemented its place alongside Ohio State and Miami as one of the nation's best teams."
"We've also tiered schools into three groups. Teams with Would be in status are featured in this week's top 12 projection, a snapshot of what the selection committee's ranking would look like if it were released today. Teams listed as On the cusp are the true bubble teams and the first ones outside the bracket. A team with Work to do is passing the eye test (for the most part) and has a chance at winning its conference, which means a guaranteed spot in the playoff."
Week 7 reshaped College Football Playoff probabilities, with Indiana's road win at Oregon producing the season's most impactful result and boosting its playoff probability by 21 percentage points to 93 percent. Indiana moved off the bubble and joined Ohio State and Miami in contention for a top-four seed and a potential first-round bye. South Florida and Texas Tech each saw playoff chances rise by at least 15 percent. Teams were tiered into Would be in, On the cusp, Work to do, and Would be out categories to reflect postseason projections and selection committee tendencies. Tennessee shows offensive strength but needs improved run defense.
